Imagine a world where the consumer and the provider can both see how much energy is being used and how much is being wasted – and then take steps to store excess energy or allocate the resources where they are needed. The SPIN unit makes the future a reality by providing a way to facilitate real-time information exchange to maximize efficiency and minimize cost.
